Poker skills rely on refining body language

I don’t know many sports or activities where you have to keep emotions hidden.  However, Poker is a different ball game!  You need to keep your face neutral and not show any positive or negative reactions even when you have scored a great hand.  Your mouth action, such as smile or pout influences the rest of your face so keep lips together and jaw relaxed.

To show confidence and to intimidate your opponent you need to maintain good eye contact and minimise eye movements or eyebrow raises.  Blink to avoid staring, but don’t blink excessively as this shows nervousness.  Release tension and relax your posture by taking a deep breath, let your shoulders relax and settle into a natural sitting position.  Don’t fidget, you want to look as though you have nothing to hide.  Speak with confidence and in a balanced tone, or nod if speaking may give something away.  Or... throw this all away and totally confuse your opponent with bluffing.  Being inconsistent with your reactions can leave people guessing too.  Cards is a game of tactics, perhaps mix it up, whatever works for you!
